11.9.3 Water Source Heat Pumps

​​​​​​11.9.3 Water Source Heat Pumps

Water source heat pump systems use open water, such as lakes, rivers or streams, as a heat source. Heat is removed from the water through collector pipework and then transferred to the heat pump.

The Council will promote the use of water source heat pumps where applicable in new developments and retrofits, subject to compliance with normal planning and environmental criteria and the Development Management Requirements.
